“Christ Church Cathedral lives into its calling to be the seat of the Diocese while also fostering a robust community of congregations who call the Cathedral their spiritual home.  It is a blessing to have Christ Church Cathedral as a point of connection for Episcopalians from all over Connecticut, and center of mission and ministry to the neighborhood and greater Hartford community.”

“Under the leadership of Cathedral Dean, the Very Reverend Miguelina Howell, Christ Church Cathedral continues to explore new and vibrant ways to connect the life of the Cathedral communities and organizations from all around Hartford.  Christ Church Cathedral is living into the call to wonder what it means to be church in the 21st century.

"Christ Church Cathedral has embarked on a new chapter in its history as an empowerer and nurturer of our apostolic calling to share Christ’s love with the world."

"With the faithful and imaginative leadership of the Very Rev. Miguelina Howell, it is offering abundant new avenues and opportunities for the Episcopal Church in Connecticut to engage our cities and towns in ministries of interfaith cooperation, community organizing, and advocacy for God’s justice."

"Drawing on a particular gift of Dean Howell’s, the Cathedral is inspiring all of us to create Spirit-filled and restorative liturgical opportunities that broaden our understanding of what it means to be God’s beloved."

"We are blessed by the emerging connections and collaborations, and celebrate our Cathedral in its leadership role for the Episcopal Church in Connecticut."
